nice widget!!, I have bought full version, in spain works very well!!
[G1 Apps and Games] flixxx:
Nice update, I was going to mention about the time it was last upated. You seem to come up with features i'd like before I can mention them :)

Another idea would be to support multiple locations. It's not a big deal or a must because if we want more then one location we can simply add a seperate widget, but i'm thinking either being able to configure "add a location" and having it take like a 4X2 for long forecast and have the locations stacked up on top of each other or even having the 4X1 widget for example and allowing the user to slide his finger up or down on the screen and he'll be getting the forecast of the different locations he selected.
[G1 Apps and Games] FANdroid:
This app is great and keeps getting better with the updates.

I usually run 2 of the widgets in 2x1 format for my current city and home town :)

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thank you.

It's not a bad idea, but it's too hard (multiple location in one widget).

Each widget is really separated from others, and don't think we are able to use gestures on widget at this time (sdk ...) :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks !

If you have more ideas ... ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] DiGWeeD2:
In size 2x1, when I click on the widget to see the 4 days always shows default skin, not the skin I have configured, htc
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Very beautiful bug noticed ! thanks !

And this is the same for every widget size.

I'll correct it when I'll be back (5 days)
[G1 Apps and Games] Malix82:
1.3.2 seems to have issues with (atleast) tiny widget

hi/lo temps are hovering on top of current temp
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
So... you have to buy this now?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
after 3 days, a banner will be show to propose to buy.

I think, i'll change it to free/donation in few days ... I don't know.

yes, problem observed. I'll correct it in next revision (few hours).
[G1 Apps and Games] Malix82:
Installed 1.3.5 from market, the tiny widget layout is correct now, thanks :)

Though I noticed some silliness in the config, now that the refresh interval time is selected using combobox, how does user select 0 for no automatic updates, there's no such option :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
lol. exact !

I'll correct that :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
136 released !

new buttons in details panel + correction for "manual update only"
[G1 Apps and Games] FANdroid:
Where is the link to download the latest version?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
link updated.

But I advise to download from market, update will come automatically :)

prepare 1.3.7, with more user frindly configuration panel
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1.3.7 released : new configuration panel + update status icon on widget
[G1 Apps and Games] FANdroid:
Wish I could but your app does not appear on the market from Canada. Thanks for the APK link.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1.3.7 was buggy (widget creation fail)... I'am sorry.

1.3.8 correct that bug.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
1.4.0 released
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
New release !

v2.0.0 : add 2x2 / 4 days view, remove time limit for free version (limitation = no skins, no geolocation refresh)

Release available only on XDA at this time, will be puclished in few hours on market.

Any bug guys ?
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Just upgraded to 2.0 and bought the unlock. Works fine, just like the old 1.2.2 I used to run - but with more bells and whistles (features). Well worth the €0.99!

One thing I've noticed, though, is that in the language dropdown menu in settings there is no choice for "Swedish" - I had to manually change it to "Other" and then enter "sv", which of course worked perfectly too, but it's just a bit of a hassle.

Another thing I've noticed is that if I enter "sv" (as described above) and hit [Save] to close the settings dialog and then resturn to settings it'll say "German" under language. Not "Other" or "Swedish".

Just a few minor things for you to consider.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks :)

I'll add "Swedish" and correct selection (I already know my mistake).

I'll add language for everyone asking :)

Next revision tonight, but I'm looking for a beautiful icon, new one is not very good.

2 majors things programmed for next revisions :

- "themes" to change background (white/black, transparency ...) - estimated time to work 4h

- skins downloader/unzipper integrated in configuration panel - estimated time to work 5h

I looked a animations, but It's not possible with current framework... you have to program it manually with A LOT of code ... and battery drain. Not very good/useful.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new minor release v2.0.1 :

- swedish language added

- app icon changed
[G1 Apps and Games] dennirei:
I followed the instructions to set new skins (htc i liked), but after having saved the zip file at sdcard and unzipped it, when i go to the widget configuration, i have only default skin and not htc, ecc..

Where is my mistake?!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hello,

2 things to check :

- since v2.0.0, free version limitation = no skins, no geolocation refresh, so, you have to pay 0.99€ (on market, or by paypal) to get access to skins (written in red in configuration panel if you have only free version).

- for directories, you should obtain : /sdcard/org.koxx.forecast_weather/skins/htc/xxx.png

can you check both ?
[G1 Apps and Games] dennirei:
Both are corrects.

I've paid 0.99 euros and the directories in my sd card are /sdcard/org.koxx.. ecc..

Really i don't know..
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Can you send me your "logcat" ? (search on google for logcat).

That's strange, you're the first one :(
[G1 Apps and Games] I7oobie:
I'm having a little bit of a problem. Seems my icons for the current and predicted weather aren't changing. It's always sunny! I'm using the dude's Rogers, and it has a theme, could that be it? I can't change the skins at the moment, as geo locator seems to be down. (Maybe that could be a feature change?)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hello !

Few questions to solve your problems :

1 - about forecast

Do you have a small icon in upper right corner of your widget ? a warning icon ?

In details panel, does if write "failed" next to last refresh time ?

If not, I think it's only a google server problem.

2 - about skins

What do you means by "I can't change the skins at the moment" ? do you have free or donate version ? have you downloaded skins on sdcard following manual on XDA ?

By the way, I'am adding a skin downloader in configuration panel to download skins more easily ... :)

3 - about geolocation

"geo locator seems to be down." ? is my warning panel popuped when you try to geolocate in configuration panel ?
[G1 Apps and Games] I7oobie:
1. I've gotten the warning icon a couple of times, but the refresh button seems to do the trick.

2. I like to use the geolocation feature, but everytime I go into the menu, it resets to the "my location" top option. So here's what I guess is what I'm doing:

-I go to change the skin and notice the geolocation option isn't checked, check it

-Then scroll down to the skin option, change that, about that time the pop up says it can't connect to google

-go down to save my skin change, but the save won't come up (I'm assuming because it couldn't connect to google)

3. Yes it's your pop up I'm refering to.

Otherwise, this a great little widget, keep up the great work!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Ok :

1 - ok, that happend ... google geocoder server seems very busy

2 - It should already be corrected in 2.0.2 :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
BIG UPDATE !

203 : new icons (thanks lluis), first INTEGRATED SKIN DOWNLOADER !

204 : bug correction on skin selection
[G1 Apps and Games] pagubg:
I have waited for 4x1 widget from the begining of this project :D Excellent!
[G1 Apps and Games] Mudbuddha:
Hey All getting an error when i configure forecast widget i get

Geoceoder poblem - communication problem with google geocoder server. retry in a few minutes

i have tried it after a few minutes still same problem xD

any help please
[G1 Apps and Games] pagubg:
Hi Mudbuddha,

There are few reasons about this error.

1) Do you have internet connection enabled and established on your phone?

2) Maybe there is a firewall which reject the requests between you and google geocoder server

And finally, maybe google server is overloaded.

I advice you to switch to differant wi-fi connection and check again.

Regards,

Radi
[G1 Apps and Games] Mudbuddha:
Thanks Radi

your a champion, my Data services went nuts so i restart my phone and hurray :)

working great now

Cheers!!

205 beta : japan correction + backup GeoCoder server added !

This is a beta, please test it, and tell me if you still have geolocation failure :)

There is a lot of modifications, I won't publish this beta on market now. I want to test it a little bit.

Most problem with geolocation comes from Google GeoCoder server overload. I have added a backup geocoder server (GeoNames). Widget tries with Google Server ... if it fails, it try with the other server.

I have requested 20 updates to test ... 18 times : google is OK ... 2 times, it fails, and GeoNames works :)

Does it works for everybody ?
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Good job, the geo location is working well for me.

Thanks,

Dave
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks Dave :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
206b2 : another provider added Noaa (for US only, and without current temp) + correct multiple japanese bug (strange google server behaviour with japan !!!)

Please test it.

A got a lot of problem with icons (with and without skins)... I hope there is no bugs ... :(

Can any japanese test ? I don't know if it's really "UTF-8" encoding. Can somebody confirm ?
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
Gotta say with the fixes in 205, this is now the best weather widget on android.

I've tried just about everything else and this is the best in terms of features, performance, and memory usage.

JS Weather is actually pretty good and has more features than this widget, but I don't like that it stays in memory and slows down the phone.

What I like about this widget is that it kills itself after updating and doesn't stay in memory, which just about every other widget doesn't do.
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
never thought i´d pay for a weather app but this thing is great!

on thing i have to ask though. it´s supposed to display the acutal weather conditions in the 1x2 widget and the forecast if i tap on the widget, isn´t it?

please add accuweather as provider. i have alk copilot installed which provides live weather via accuweather.com and it can´t be that the navigation program is much more accurate than my beloved weather widget ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new release

206 : hide skins images from gallery (rename /sdcard/org.koxx.forecast_weather/ to /sdcard/.org.koxx.forecast_weather/) + another provider added Noaa (for US only, and without current temp) + correct multiple japanese bug (strange google server behaviour with japan !!!)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks,

unfortunately, accuweather API is not free and not public. I can't use it...

I'll try to find other free provider during next days. I already add Noaa provider for US ;)

An option will be added to show "current condition" and not "day forecast condition" for current day widget icon, it's already in task list. ;)

I do my best to keep this widget fast & light... :p
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
cool, many thanks!

WARNING !

http://koxx3.free.fr/SkyInternationalKoxx.v2-209.apk

it seems there is a problem with the lastest version. But I am not able to reproduce it.

If someone can test it, and explain me the problem :

Which older version did you have ?

When does it crash (after install, when creating a new widget, when saving configuration of widget, when choosing skins) ?

Do you try to remove the older widget, and recreate a new one ?

And better, can you send me your 'logcat' (if you know what it is) ?

Does it crash with all sizes ?

EDIT : can you tell me if this version correct the problem : http://koxx3.free.fr/SkyInternationalKoxx.v2-210.apk Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

2.1.1 released, it should correct the major "forece close" bug of 2.0.9.

It was located in "free" version only :)

Thanks for logcat download skin problem. But that's strange, it doesn't seems to be "error" (only D/ I/ W/, not E/ ).

Can you send me your full logcat by mail (see first page for mail @) ?

I'll have to wait tonight (in 9h) to look at it.
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Koxx, I bought the widget but it doens't appear into widget list.

I uninstalled the free version then installet the donate, reboot the phone but is not working.

Plase fix it.
[G1 Apps and Games] pagubg:
"The donate" is just an UNLOKCER... you need to install Forcecast widget after the UNLOCKER. ...

check this out
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Thanks :o:o:o:o
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
after or before, but yes, you're right. I change the unlocker app description on market to be sure everyone undertstand it :)
[G1 Apps and Games] flumps:
im getting force close when i try and change the settings since updating SPL & radio
[G1 Apps and Games] pagubg:
I found the problem and it wasn't in the widget :)

Some filters on the gateway caused this problem. So it was my job to fix that :)

Now it works perfectly.
[G1 Apps and Games] zombiefly:
essential widget alert. very nice, worth the donation :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Cool. No bug... :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I didn't see your post.

Do you solve your problem ?

can you send your logcat ? (see 'log collector' on market to do it).
[G1 Apps and Games] Erikbronx:
Love you work. I paid for it thru Market Place. Thanks:)
[G1 Apps and Games] Janis:
Sure would like the NOAA current temp

I'm just thrilled to have a weather widget that doesn't bog down my phone. The skinning is such a breeze, it's clear and simple to use. Really nice work.

It would be cool if clicking on a forecast line would open the noaa (or other) website for that zip code/location. Just an idea. I like the idea of using Weatherunderground, too!
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Click in details forecast is already in task list (1rst page).

But I don't think it will be able to work with noaa.

And unfortunately, current temperature is not available with noaa :( [not provided in XML]

For Weather undergournd, I have to look at 'terms of uses' to be sure I can use it ( but I think it's dead ... :/ ).

EDIT : I send an email to 'Weather undergournd' service to see if they agree...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

any volunteers to test ?
[G1 Apps and Games] mjd355:
sure, I'll test 2.1.4b1

bug report - i'm running 2.1.3 with the donate unlock. i was trying the 2x2 widgets with different skins when it locked my phone. it happened right after i hit "save and exit" on the skin screen. everything was locked. after about 60 seconds the phone rebooted itself.

when i made another widget, the skins were gone. uninstalled (both program and key) and reinstalled and the skins are still gone.

on the upside, the widget still works for me, and i like the skin its stuck with (which wasn't the default skin either, weird).

hope that helps.
[G1 Apps and Games] monotremata:
Koxx,

I know this is sort of irrelevant, but where can I get the alligator background?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thank you, first time I see this bug.

It seems that sdcard has problem (if no skins are show), but I really don't know.

Without log, it will be very difficult to solve it. :(

I do only 2 things when you hit this button : save the skin name in database, and request a update for the current widget. And, unfortunately, I don't see problem with this code...

Do you use aHome or dxTop ?

One thing, when ou change version, it's better to remove software instead of "upgrade". It clear database, and that's good. My database is often changing due to new features.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
yay, current weather ;)

downloaded and installed, no problems so far, many thanks!

edit: little bug: using the new current weather function. after a few updates it shows the default skin sun icon although i´m using the plcnet skin. and it isn´t really sunny either today... ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I think it's more a google weather problem :o/
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
so it´s normal that the default skins sun icon is used instead of the plcnet one if google screws up the current weather data?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
oh no ! sorry, i misunterstood :)

but, if they screw up (missing information in XML file), yes, I think 'sunny" icon is default (i think I'll change that, it's not very clean). Or may be it's a "new" condition.

Can you try to update (remove then install) your "plcnet" skin (first versions had missing icons such as "mostly_sunny"). Just redownload the skin :)
[G1 Apps and Games] athurdent:
fine, thank you. now the sun is gone ;)

and of course the proper plcnet icon is used.
[G1 Apps and Games] pagubg:

can you explain ?
[G1 Apps and Games] mjd355:
hey - i had the issues yesterday with the missing skins after a crash. manually deleted the koxx.weather folder off the sd card and adb installed 2.1.4b2.

everything working great!

I just donate for unlocker and works fine here in Taiwan.

Beautiful look.

If possible,do you consider to add the function of changing the transparency/background in the future?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:

what configuration do you use (language, encoding) ?

yes, I'm currently working on background skining ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new beta !!!

http://koxx3.free.fr/SkyInternationalKoxx.v2-214b3.apk

one more time, need volunteers ;)

what's new ?

- possibility to hide text elements from widget (used for 1x1, 1x2, 1x4 / not 2x2).

- a begining of background skining (not visible, but core is here).
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
new beta :

4x1, 2x1, 2x2 background reskined !!!!

http://koxx3.free.fr/SkyInternationalKoxx.v2-214b4.apk

next steps :

- finish with 1x1

- include a background downloader selector (same as skin)

You will be able to create your unknow background skin :)

What do you think about new background included ?
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
I'm not really liking the white outline.

Plus, the text gets cut off on the top and bottom.

Some of the config text are in french.

I'm hoping you try to keep the widget lean in terms of size, and not get tempted to add too many features that add bloat.

I used to love dxtop, but the author added so many features and made the app so big, I can't use it anymore because its so laggy and slow.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
outilne > don't worry, if you don't like it, you'll be able to change it !

text cut off > I know, i'll correct that tomorrow

config text > I didn't know, i'll correct that

features > you can look at features list in first page. It remains light, for widget update, only 200 lines of code are executed (it's very few). I want to add more features AND keep it fast & light.

thanks for debuging !!!
[G1 Apps and Games] nemo.mole:
I use both Chinese/English under Roger ROM,work fine.

encoding latin/Chinese/Japanese or Chinese/mailand seems no difference in my G1.

It's a very great widget and it's very close HTC.

(So I decide not to install the slow Here ROM) :)
[G1 Apps and Games] nemo.mole:
Trying the new beta.

But don't understand the meaning of the options ' Select widget elements to hide',it's not English.:D
[G1 Apps and Games] nemo.mole:
In this new beta,I could find the Chinese information on widget now.

But only Simplified Chinese,no support for Traditional Chinese.

Language - zh-CN

Encoding - Chinese / Mainland

If I choose Chinese/Japanese,it will appear messy words.

People in Taiwan/Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese.
[G1 Apps and Games] sino8r:
Sorry if this has been asked.... I don't hang out here as much as I used to nor keep up with current xda-dev events but... Is it possible to implement a touchflo 3D-like version with animated weather like htc has on some modded touch series pocket pcs? Basically, shining suns rays are moving, rain falling, etc.... I saw there are some skins like tf 2D and animations would be a great addition. Are the skins coded through .xml files or .lib files packed in an .apk? What ever the case, great work! Will support the paid version now...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I can add it, but I don't know what i should fill in language / encoding :(

I'll look at it.

Can you try "zh-TW" as language ? for encoding, I don't know...

Currently, android widget framework doesn't support aniamtions ...

But i'd like to include it in details panal (normal framework).

... but I don't find the HTC animations (from Diamond for example) ...

if somebody can tell me where I can find this, I'm very interested.

[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
beta 5 is working well, but I tend to prefer the older background to the new one. Still not liking the outline, even if its reduced. :-(

The new 2x1 background seems to overpower the screen.
[G1 Apps and Games] Lemonade727:
Testing the b5 version but came across one problem. Not sure if it has to do with the app or the skin. When its set to current condition the icon for today is defaulting to the stock skin while the rest stay on plcnet's icons which I have it set to, setting it to the day forecast displays the correct icon. Is it because there's no night icon for "chance of storms" in the skin pack?
